Dear Nina,
Why is it that such a nice boy from Nova Scotia, who literally grew up with a white picket fence around the yard has to fall prey to "Straight bar flies!" Who are these young men who infiltrate our safe little havens and proceed to hustle us for beers and cigarettes in exchange for their flirtations? Are we so lonely here in our little gay taverns that any attention from a young cute boy is good, although we all know it’s bullshit. Worse is making the fatal decision to take the boy home. You either wake up without your watch, wallet, DVD player, cologne, or worse!
We all have a story. For me when I first went to a gay bar I really thought that I had reached nirvana – all these fabulous people smiling and laughing, sharing incredible stories and feeling really safe. Tonight I left one of my favorite watering holes because some "straight bar fly" had set off a fire cracker! What if that would have hit someone in the face instead of hitting the floor? It scared the shit out of all of us. The bartender didn’t seem to give a shit because this is part of his everyday bullshit routine; I don’t want to know what he sees everyday. Why are these "straight bar flies" around? Nina is there something at the garden center in the way of a pesticide that I can pick up? There are quite a few bars that need an exterminator.
Afraid of bugs!
Dear Bugsie,
I know the type – he has no money for beer or cigarettes and also seems to be flirting all around the room. Really he is hunting for the next meal ticket. This is something that most of us have or will fall prey to at least once in our Gay lives. While there is no spray to rid yourself of these parasites (short of telling them you’re broke), you can help others by warning them when you see such scum working their next victim. I find it appalling considering that most of these children aren’t even gay, because as far they’re concerned, you are only gay if you take it in the ass. We homosexuals are what they consider easy targets because we enjoy the company of young men and we have more expendable income. Seeing as how they get us to hand over the cigarettes and the drinks etc., why go anywhere else?
This queen has only fallen prey to these creatures once, and since then I see the signs and go directly to the bartender to give them the heads-up. If they choose to ignore it then I would write the Manager a letter explaining the situation and see where it goes from there. Remember, your Gay dollars have the power, and how you use it is up to you. Use your powers for good not evil.
My beloved readers, watch for this trash because they may target you next. If it seems too good to be true then it probably is – it’s time to move to the other end of the bar and watch him for awhile – you’ll know by his actions pretty quickly. And I say let the hunter become the hunted.
Love,
Nina
